PELL CITY, Ala. – During a tug-of-war game Thursday, Thirteen-year-old Maddison Wentworth slumped to the ground, police said. School nurses rushed to her side, performing CPR. She was taken to a nearby hospital, where she was pronounced dead.
It’s still unclear what exactly happened Thursday at Williams Intermediate School in Pell City, Alabama; authorities have not said whether Maddison had any preexisting medical conditions. But Amanda Garrett, a parent whose daughter was on the opposing team, told CBS affiliate WIAT that her daughter said Maddison had complained about a headache and dizziness before she passed out.
The St. Clair County coroner said an autopsy has been scheduled.
TOKYO – People who don’t mind getting their hands dirty could do worse than visit one of the agricultural theme parks that have opened around Japan in recent years.
Visitors will be able to have various farming experiences, purchase agricultural products and enjoy good food. These theme parks help enhance agricultural competitiveness by drawing attention to the so-called sixth industry of agriculture, in which production, processing and distribution are vertically integrated.
Agricultural theme parks are often complex facilities equipped with rental farmland, direct sales shops for agricultural products, restaurants and processing factories. Though municipalities have operated agricultural parks before, large-scale agricultural theme parks have been increasing over the past few years in response to such trends as the entry of private companies into the agricultural industry.
